Hi,

 

We load new routers using the loadhosts command with the loopback address as the IP address parameter for the command. I wanted to verify my understanding on the monitoring of all interfaces in this router; which is that once the router is loaded, Netview will discover and PING each and every interface of this router every 5 minutes (our setting for Status Polling interval). So if the router has dual WAN links to a remote site, and one of these interfaces goes down, we will know about it in no more then 5 minutes. Is my understanding correct?

 

Thanks.

 

Cheers
